I have been thinking about religions lately. At the school party I was telling students that not everyone celebrates Christmas. There was a student's younger brother at the party and he just couldn't fathom that. It was probably the first time he ever heard of such a thing, and probably the first time he heard Diwali, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa.
Last Sunday in the Young Women lesson was about JOY. The teacher used JOY as an acronym: J for Jesus; O for others; Y for you. It was a wonderful lesson and she used The Nativity video with a song. Then she also used the Innkeeper's song, Let Him In from The Forgotten Carols by Michael McLean (is that the correct spelling?) That song has been my pondering thought this year, it seemed more than just a coincidence to me.
I am grateful for a religion that condones the celebrations of holidays and other special days of the year.
And I am now wondering what the musical number has to do with the plot of the movie I am watching.
